Letter to the Editor: Duck helpers

The Gorge Chapter of Ducks Unlimited recently held their 29th annual fundraising banquet at the Hood River Inn. The Gorge Chapter Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended the event for their support and participation.

We would especially like to thank the local business community for their many generous donations that made our banquet a great success. We would particularly like to thank this year’s corporate sponsor Pilot Knob Drilling and Blasting as well as our Mallard Sponsor, Mid-Columbia Marine and Motor Sports, our Widgeon Sponsor, Desert Mountain Realty, and our Teal Sponsor, Columbia State Bank and the Albert Duddles family for their support of our youth program.

Ducks Unlimited conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.
